Over 30 years of retirement, Parrick would collect as much as $54,447, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Galesburg Reporter.
The projection assumes Parrick received $1,144 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Parrick will have already received $3,535 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
